The clip shows Hewitt talking to her phone's camera. “That's not what I'm thinking about right now, because I have a baby to take care of, and I also have to work and make money, and I'm doing it on my own, which is hard,” she said.

She captioned the clip, "priorities?!?!" 

In the likes and comments section of her clip, Hewitt appeared to agree with the criticism her followers leveled towards Davidson. She liked a comment that said that“not staying with your partner” when they just had a baby is “insanely loser behavior."

"This is THE most vulnerable time in a woman's life," continued the comment. She appears to have deleted the like. 

"I hope you don't mean you're doing the financial part alone... that would be insane given the circumstances. You seem like a lovely person and a wonderful mother! We're all rooting for you," wrote another person. 

Hewitt replied and deleted, "I am :)." 

Following Hewitt's video, a source close to Davidson said that he was helping Hewitt with all of the financial costs involving his daughter ."Pete has made himself extremely available and has provided full financial support. Pete is actually covering all Scottie costs and more," they said to PEOPLE. "He is hoping Elsie has good health and success for the sake of their daughter."
